Description

BS 1363-5:2016 specifies requirements, with particular reference to safety innormal use, for 13 A, fused, conversion plugs for household, commercial andlight industrial purposes.

The scope of the standard covers two-pole plus earth conversion plugs that areeither reusable or non-reusable and that are suitable for the connection ofnon-BS 1363 type plugs, conforming to a recognized standard, to socket-outletsconforming to BS 1363-2:2016.

The scope of this standard is limited to devices with the following characteristics:

  • that have insulating sleeves on line and neutral pins;
  • that have one plug portion and one set of contacts intended to connect toa non-BS 1363 type plug that conforms to the dimensional requirements ofa standard listed in IEC TR 60083 and not exceeding 13 A;
  • that are suitable for the connection of electrical equipment in a.c. circuitsonly, operating at voltages not exceeding 250 V r.m.s. at 50 Hz;
  • that may have the un-terminated metal earth pin replaced with a similarlydimensioned insulated shutter opening device (ISOD) designed to operatethe shutter mechanism of a socket-outlet conforming to BS 1363-2:2016.

Two categories of conversion plugs are specified, covering normal and roughuse.

Conversion plugs specified in this standard are intended for the connection ofloads to socket-outlets; they are not intended for the connection of electricalpower generators to socket-outlets.

Conversion plugs incorporating switches, transformers, thermostats, or othercontrol means are outside the scope of this part of BS 1363.

This standard also does not cover:

  • non-BS 1363 type conversion plugs, i.e. with a contact set to fit 13 A plugs,and a male plug portion suitable for a non-BS 1363 type socket-outlet;
  • adaptors (see BS 1363-3:2016); or
  • travel adaptors (see BS 8546:2016).
